How to improve your confidence after you have passed your driving test. You can get a dip in your confidence anytime after you have passed your driving test. It could happen on your first drive alone or it could happen six months later, so I am hoping this short video helps you.
Here are a few common situations that might crop up when you start using your first car:
Stalling your car
The majority of new drivers will stall their first car, a lot. The stalling is usually caused because the biting point on the clutch is either higher or lower than the car you took the driving test in. Only with practice will you reduce the stalling, and the best tip would be to practice in the first few days at quiet times of the day, this will give you more time to improve the pedal controls with less pressure of less traffic.
Hill Starts
Hill starts is another common situation that can effect your driving confidence. If you stall on the first couple of hill starts, you will start to doubt your own ability to complete a hill start. As with the stalling, I would practice in a quiet area the gas and clutch control. then when that is mastered, move onto quiet hill starts before trying steep hill starts. Remember, the handbrake is your friend, so use it on hill starts.
Cars behind you
You could be driving along at the speed limit and when you check your rear view mirror you notice a white van very close and gesturing at you to go faster. This will scare most people who are on their own in the first few months. You will start to doubt what you are doing. So remember, know your speed limit and drive at reasonable speeds. If you need to slow down because you are approaching the end of the road, then bring the speed down gradually, this will reduce the risk of the white van behind you braking hard at the end of the road.
